Product Description
Review
"'A fascinating insight into the life of a rural constable... splendid reading.' Police Journal 'Stories of a constable on his village beat in North Yorkshire. All very gentle and far, far removed from the hurly burly of modern day city policing.' Daily Telegraph 'Rhea's real strengths are his sharp portraits of people. The best humour comes from the author's close understanding and affectionate portrayals of the character of Yorkshire country folk.' Northern Echo 'An account of the hilarious happenings to the country's rural policemen over the years.' Yorkshire Post 'Filled with Yorkshire characters to make you laugh and cry... shows life through the eyes of a village bobby.' Whitby Gazette 'Nicholas Rhea is doing for the North Yorkshire Police what James Herriot did for the North Yorkshire vets... another delightful, simple tale of everyday life in Aidensfield from Constable Nick.' Driffield Post"
Product Description
As Constable Nick of Aidensfield continues to patrol his varied beat in the picturesque countryside of the North Yorkshire Moors, he recalls the wisdom of his former training sergeant. Constables should see and be seen - when wearing the uniform they are on view all the time and must act positively but with decorum.Surrounded by stunning long-distance views, Constable Nick takes advantage of the landscape to help in his constabulary duties. From a lofty vantage point, he sees a red-coated woman who vanishes minutes later; he notices the theft of thousands of trees from the side of a dale but deals with more local problems, such as the Aidensfield family who were locked out of their home and the burglar who entered isolated farms to leave only a note saying he could have stolen everything.Claude Jeremiah Greengrass reports the theft of two tons of door knockers while the family of a drowned man refuse to take responsibility for burying him. Bats in a local church, a man who might strangle his wife and another who takes a sentimental journey never to return are all part of Nick's constabulary duties in Aidensfield.

As I started to read this book I was transported back to Aidensfield, the main setting for the very popular series called HEARTBEAT and I really enjoyed it.
Greengrass was featured and during the dialogue between him and PC Rhea, I could imagine Greengrass with his heavy coat and standing uneasily and blinking at the constable when PC Rhea was telling him right from wrong.
I liked the story about the family who lost their keys and I thought the police advice was spot-on.
If you are a Heartbeat fan like me then you will love the books as its like being on a journey with the people you know from the series.
The book also had a marvellous cover and I liked that as well.
Congratulations to Nicholas Rhea on a fine book and I look forward to reading the next one.
